Students who do not have a prior interest in Shakespeare and not motivated by curriculum to acquire some, may not find the book very engaging, as it suffers by today’s standards from being black and white and a little drab, visually. Many photographs and maps do help bring to life Shakespeare’s world. Sketches clarify the activities, but students would probably be more inclined to try the activities if there were color photographs of the projects. The book would work most effectively as a whole classroom endeavor, so that a teacher could integrate biographical information about Shakespeare with the activities. It is noteworthy that in the Web Sites list at the end of the book, a link is included for http://www.shakespeare-oxford.com, which the author notes discusses controversies about the authorship of some Shakespeare’s plays. A table of contents is included; an index would have been useful. Target audience grades 4-6.
